The ISO 9001 requirements for a quality management system outlines what you have to do to achieve certification to this international standard. Achieving certification to this standard will help to drive continual business improvement within your company.
ISO 9001:2008 is it a quality management system or it suitable as an overall business management system. This article explains the origins of ISO, the history and benefits of ISO 9001:2008 as well as comparing the use of ISO9001 Quality management system (QMS) and as a business management system to drive continuous quality improvement within your organisation. You quality management system is the system by which you control all of your process and procedures within the company to ensure that they are controlled and deliver conforming services and products every time, whereas your business management system reflects the running of the whole business not just the quality aspect.
With a system that meets the requirements of ISO 9001 and follows the guidelines of ISO 9004 you would have a management system that would enable you to drive your business forward, not just satisfying your current customers but helping your to win more. The quality management system influences all aspects of your business from suppliers through design, production and delivery. If you can be the best that you can be in all of these areas and continually improve then you would have a business that can compete globally against any other.
As you can see, if you not only implement the requirements of ISO 9001:2008 but you also follow the guidelines defined within ISO 9004 you will drive continuous business improvement within your company and help your business to become more and more competitive.
